For The Love Of A Daughter

Four years old

With my back to the door

All I could hear

Was the family war

Your selfish hands

Always expecting more

Am I your child

Or just a charity award...

You have a hollowed out heart

But it’s heavy in your chest

I try so hard to fight

It but it’s hopeless

Hopeless

You’re hopeless...

Oh father

Please, father

I’d love to leave you alone

But I can’t let you go

Oh father

Please, father

Put the bottle down

For the love of a daughter...

It’s been five years

Since we spoke last

You can’t take back

What we never had

Oh I can be manipulated

Only so many times

Before even “I love you”

Starts to sound like a lie...

You have a hollowed out heart

But it’s heavy in your chest

I try so hard to fight

It but it’s hopeless

Hopeless

You’re hopeless...

Oh father

Please, father

I’d love to leave you alone

But I can’t let you go

Oh father

Please, father

Put the bottle down

For the love of a daughter...

Don’t you remember

I’m your baby girl

How could you push me

Out of your world

Lied to your flesh and your blood

Put your hands on the ones

That you swore you loved

Don’t you remember

I’m your baby girl

How could you throw me

Right out of your world

So young when the pain had begun

Now forever afraid of being alone...

Oh father

Please, father

I’d love to leave you alone

But I can’t let you go

Oh father

Please, father

Oh father

Please, father

Put the bottle down

For the love of a daughter...
